Young internet personality RowdyRogan and his family have confirmed that their much-hyped Warzone and TikTok ban was part of an elaborate staging from the start.
In a YouTube video posted to his channel, RowdyRogan and his family confirmed that the many theories that his ban Warzone was part of FaZe5’s latest Top 20 challenge that asked finalists to make a “viral video” were true.
In a vlog, they recount all the preparation behind this farce, from the moment RowdyRogan himself thought of this idea, until the “ban” played on Twitch.
When RowdyRogan hinted that a “ban” would be ideal for the challenge of a viral video, his mother predicted that “people were going to go crazy”, and the past few days have made it clear that she is right.

In the closing moments of his video, the young boy’s mother and father both addressed the camera. If his father recognized that “some people would not be happy” when they find out it was a hoax, he nonetheless wanted to support his son’s fans for their support “phenomenal”.
Explaining the reasons for actively participating in this challenge, RowdyRogan’s mother says she wanted to show FaZe that “the world was ready”, for young players like his son, suggesting that RowdyRogan should be part of FaZe Clan in order to “to pave the way for young players.”
Both parents also wanted to thank Activision for their support and apologized for the criticism the publisher had received in support of their son’s “ban”.
How did it all start?
It must be said that fans were shocked when this little Call of Duty prodigy saw his Warzone account ban in the middle of a stream with his father Harry Drew on December 9.
While his father “did everything” in an attempt to recover his son’s account with the hashtag #FreeRogan on social networks, it turned out that the young star’s TikTok account, which then had 60,000 subscribers, had also just bite the dust.
As some of you know, Rogan was banned from Warzone on stream tonight. The Team and us are currently trying to handle the situation and will keep you guys updated. Thank you for all the support. #FreeRogan pic.twitter.com/df1B28Fa8R

While many fans then supported RowdyRogan and his father, others were more skeptical and felt that this ban was part of a plan for the FaZe challenge. It would seem that they were indeed right!
It remains to be seen whether this hoax was enough for the young streamer to pass the challenge organized by FaZe Jarvis.
